Thanks for the mention! That was my senior year as a student and my favorite robot. W-Ham-O is still one of our main outreach robots and serving us well!

As far as the best looking ever, watching 180's robot on the field, while not the "prettiest" robot, it moved in the most fluid way and look GORGEOUS when watching it in motion.

The only other robot that moves in a similar fluid motion I think I've seen is 971's 2016 robot, which might just be my favorite robot of all time.

2009 was a great year for looks, with 973's Raptor and 1771's Black Widow being my two favorites.

I'll back up my friends from Colorado in saying that the Landsharks' always look great. (It's hard to beat a paper mache shark) But also Angelbotics' fuzzy bumpers are pretty great.

Very, very true. We saw them at Champs last year, and none of us on 1619 could stop touching the bumpers.

As much as I like powder coating I also like the clean, bare sheet metal look that 283's robots (2015-16) have.

Aww thanks The bright blue LEDs also helped that robot really shine (sorry couldn't help it).



We tried the clean, bare sheet metal look last year and it definitely has a sharp look.

343 always has a sleek, black and sheet metal look but the flames on the 2010 robot were especially cool.

Won't be seeing a 3036 robot either. If we built a good looking robot (let alone a consistent robot), the apocalypse would begin.

1595 has fielded some gorgeous robots.




Another amazing PNW team's robots are 4488. Every robot they have made is amazing.

I'm going to throw my vote in for 2046's 2012 robot. Pictures really don't do it justice, but this is the best I could find. It still stands out in my mind as some of the most beautifully over-the-top machining I've seen in FRC.

Although I'm not a fan of pocketed tubing, I was very impressed with this robot's performance in our division that year. Very solid machine.
